Hello . Like Keltia I have also read a positive comment about this forum on WatchersontheWall. I am looking forward to discuss GoT in a nice environment with friendly people and this seems to be the right place . When I watched the first season I had not read the books. Between first and second season I read all the books. I am a show and a book lover but prefer the show. One of my favourites is Sansa and at other places of the internet it's not alway easy to be a fan of her . I live in Munich, Germany with husband and two cats. Welcome! Glad to have you on board. You won't have any problem here finding Sansa fans, there are plenty.

Greetings to all. I just finished reading a comment by mau on Watchers on the Wall calling this site "one really great fan forum." From what I've seen so far, he's definitely right. I started watching Thrones at the beginning of Season 3 (having binge-watched the first two seasons when they were run in a loop the weekend it started - I stayed up the full 20 hours to see them both). I read the first three books during that season and have completed (the incomplete -- come on George!) the book series. I have eclectic tastes for the rest of my books/TV/movies/music, but I'm eagerly anticipating "The Defenders" on Netflix next week and the return of both "Halt & Catch Fire" and "Stranger Things." I like walks on the beach, single malt scotch, and Maisie Williams' acting. Hello . Like Keltia I have also read a positive comment about this forum on WatchersontheWall. I am looking forward to discuss GoT in a nice environment with friendly people and this seems to be the right place . When I watched the first season I had not read the books. Between first and second season I read all the books. I am a show and a book lover but prefer the show. One of my favourites is Sansa and at other places of the internet it's not alway easy to be a fan of her . I live in Munich, Germany with husband and two cats. Welcome to the board both of you! This is most certainly one of the friendliest places to discuss GoT, so you two should blend right in! We have a perfect mix of people who like the books more, or the show more. This creates interesting conversations! Also our staff is bloody brilliant! I have to always ask this question when someone tells me they have watched the show first before the books. While you're reading, do you picture the characters as the actors who portray them? Like when you read about Tyrion and Sansa, do you picture Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner?

Like when you read about Tyrion and Sansa, do you picture Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner? Thanks for the warm welcome . I did not picture the book characters based on the show characters. Book-Sansa has e.g. darker, more auburn hair for me. And Book Tyrion has more scars and no nose from the battle of Blackwater. Also the locations in the books I imagine completely different than their show counterparts e.g. Castle Black and The Wall as well as Winterfell or the Eyrie look completely different when I read the books.

I don't think your reply went through. Did it give you the option to post under the other one? Edit: Nevermind, you got it.

Thanks alcasinoroyale . I had to figure out how the quoting works here and it seems that I pressed the wrong button, but I have just edited.

Hello, I'm new around here. Just looking for a place to discuss and get excited about the show and books without any drama or whatever. About me: I don't really have a favourite character on the show - I find them all compelling but if I had to pick in a crunch it'd probably be a tie between Cersei, Dany and Ellaria. I live in endless bitterness that the show never got the Dorne storyline right. I'm currently catching my life to the season 7 soundtrack. That's about it.

Hi. I'm Cosmos and my relationship with ASOIAF/GOT is complicated. I first came in contact with ASOIAF more than ten years ago. I have always been a fantasy/sci-fi fan but two facts precluded me from enjoying it: - List item 1
- List item 2
As these two facts are connected and ASOIAF was only half-way through I decided not to read the books. However as someone who doesn't mind spoiler I read all available info from Wikipedia and TvTropes. Not only I realized that I would immensely enjoy the books I would ship Jon and Daenerys like my life depended on it. As they hadn't met in the books it was easy to but the series on the back burner and enjoy other things. Of course then GOT started a few years later and cast Emilia and Kit who had such an amazing chemistry in interviews that I knew I was doomed. Still I held off instead choosing another book series while keeping close watch to GOT. Then last year the leaks had Jon/Dany happening and once season 7 confirmed them I began to read the books. Had heard about Westeros.org being a cesspool of hate against my ship, I looked somewhere else and found this forum in a tumblr post by oadara and here I am. A shame I didn't find it before the season ended.
